Quin

That was me. My only hope is that he can do what Jason couldn't, which is develop a home run call. This was...not inspiring.

Everyone has said my goals so I add Pedro's goals: 1) Gotta go FASTs 2) Get on the train 3) 500 at-bats each for DeJong, Lopez and Maldonado. Moustakas gets playing time over Sosa, Ramos or Colas. Also possibly Garrett Crochet. 4) Only lose games by 4 runs, not 5 runs. 5) Trademark the phrase "the Sox are gri-falling apart." 6) Get the Sox to add "Pedro's Grifol's Grilled Durian Fruit Stand" to the concourse.

I mean, that is their job.

The dark days of Nestor Molina and Simon Castro

God damn, I want Cags to fall to the Sox but if he keeps this up I don't know if it happens.

Pitchers are banging down the door to play here.

RemVP >>> Moustakas

I'll never say a bad thing about Danny Mendick. He was doing well in his role until Haseley was unable to call for a ball. Moustakas has no place near this roster.

Sir, we have Dominic Fletcher

A destination pitchers will want to go to.

He got run over by the Grifol Train that was going too FASTs

Sir, this is a SoxTalk

Pedro literally said it's not about who performs the best in Spring Training. Because Pedro is, well, dumb.

Moustakas with the edge of the infield power.

In 4 hours, Tray will need to consult his doctor.

They need to reframe their perspective from wanting to watch a competitive team to watching a comedic team.

From this spring or the last three years in general?

Homsar is twice the man.

I mean, Liam kinda cited SoxTalk when he signed here. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

BITIM HAS BEEN FREED

The highlight of last season was a fan getting shot by a mystery bullet in the stadium. I think we're allowed to direct some bitterness at an owner, front office and manager that shovel more s%*# than the poopsmith from Homestar Runner.

Pitchers are salivating at this 3-1 score though

This is key. They bring in Maldonado - who Pedro clearly views as his juggernaut, .191 hitter and league-worst defensive stalwart - as the starter. After they brought in Max Stassi as the vet. At the same time, they have Korey Lee (who was bad last year, yes, and could use seasoning), Quero (hopefully the future), Hackenberg (who could be a good backup in the future, but definitely needs time in AAA) and Perez (yes, bad, but again, Maldonado). With Stassi around there was no need to give $4M to the second worst catcher in the league (Eric Haase barely edges him out).

If I had to diagnose this thread, I'd say it's more about the fact that Getz is trying to half-ass build a "win-now" roster of older guys while trading youth. I'm ambivalent towards moving Thompson overall cause he got buried. But it might have been worth seeing him as a reliever. This isn't the Mena trade, which reeks of "call J.G. Wentworth, because I need a warm body in RF now!" The Sox are familiar with Horn, he's a lefty reliever which (as many have pointed out) is worth its weight in gold (or Nicky Lopez, Mike Soroka +++). He could become very valuable, or he could be s%*#! It's just that Getz' philosophy is "with Paul DeJong's glove, anything is possible for our pitchers. Empty the farm! Go!" Edit: He's obviously not emptying the farm, but that's clearly why people are panicking. Because this is what the prior regime - that Getz was a part of - did.

Oh, I was just listening to the podcast walking my dog when I heard that line and had a moment of "this dude is truly awful at the spin." Just say that you expect the best from them, we're working with them, etc. A lot like his team, Grifol likes to make unforced errors.
